El Salvador
2017 is the year to stop making El Salvador a stopover en route to Costa Rica or Honduras. This Central America country has so much to offer, especially if you’re looking for some adventure. Home to 23 active volcanoes (and countless inactive ones as well), there’s no shortage of hiking and crater trekking to be done. It also boasts some of the best surfing you’ll find anywhere (hit up the volcanic sand El Tunco beach and test out the impressive swells).
